Android 12 beta to stable update ? - Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers

Hi ! I'm on Android 11 september patch and it's easy to flash Android 12 on my pixel 4a 5g but do wipe all my data.
I have a question if I flash the last Android 12 beta as a new phone and restore with Drive backup. After on October when Android 12 stable roll out for all. Can I just update it or do wipe data again to go from beta to stable firmware ?
Thanks

I'm interested to know too

Yes ! Do wipe data too for roll back to stable.
Android 12 comes the 4th October I stay it. It's more simple for me.

I came here looking with this exact question.
I'm on Android 11. If I enroll my phone now for A12 and it gets A12, will it just update to the release version when it releases? Or would I have to unenroll from the beta which will do a data wipe?
Thanks

I'm in the beta and yes you just get the stable build without wipe as OTA. Last Beta of Android 12 (SPB5.210812.002) is pretty stable.

You will get the release version via ota even if you install A12 beta.

OOS 4.0 VS. OOS 3.2.8 VS. OOS Beta 10

We all know that OOS 4.0 has been released recently, OOS 3.2.8 users got OTA update while some still did not get and others still using Beta 10
I updated from Beta 10 to Stable 4.0
actually I'm not happy with the new update and see from my side that Beta 10 is better than the new stable release 4.0
1. Long (extended) Screenshot removed from 4.0
2. In Call UI font became bigger in 4.0
3. Launcher reverted back to old style which was in Old Betas and H2 Style removed
So tell us what do you think of the new update?

Clear google play services framework and google play services data and cache and then reboot. It's an issue with the device not able to connect to the google cloud connection services.
This should fix the issue.
The N for OP3 is still buggy for my taste. To many variables are a source for bugs and tbh that f2s partition is also trouble, not 100% but still. I will stick to my MM for now since it's flawless in any terms...Xposed, awesome kernels, stability,etc. N will be an option after op will "finally settle" it a bit

Sorry for asking stupid questions...Will there be OTA updates for OOS Beta 10, or in order to get some new OTAs I have to manually flash Stable 7.0? (and also do full wipe, right?)

If your are on Open beta you'll get Open beta updates only, you'll get OTA for open beta 11.
If you are on OOS 4, you'll get OOS 4 updates like 4.0.1.
If you want to switch from OB to OOS, you can sideload it from official recovery or if you have twrp you can just flash it like any other rom.

Thanks for clarifying, one more question: sideloading official 4.0 when I have Beta 10 is equal to full wipe, right?

Upgrade to Pie Global Beta from Global stable (locked bl)

Is it possible? I could on Mix 2s easily via recovery.
It is possible. You have to download the latest Oreo based beta version, which is MIUI 8.9.7, and install this package via the software update section in the settings. Once you are on the Oreo beta, you'll get the newest beta via the software updater.

I can confirm that it works. Started from Global stable 10.0.3.0, flashed the global beta 8.9.7 and then updated to beta 8.10.25 and the last step was to beta 10.11.2

I think you can't because the beta versions are based on Pie and the stable on Orea, so i suppose the ARB can give you some problems

the beta version stable doesn't exist. Beta or stable. I prefer beta because i have weekly updates, more functions, and more bugs solved
And how is the battery? Better or worse?
Now that the last stable version is based on Pie, do you think it's possible to go back from Dev Rom to stable?

Hi @ricpicpr, what is best way to run Global beta, with twrp and root? In my theory is the always before install new beta, flash back stock boot.img, than install update and than again flash twrp and root. Is it correct?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well im trying to understand this, because since my Mi8 is unlocked and rooted for the first time i have to update it with the weekly update. I received OTA notification and i have downloaded the OTA update (8.12.7) but when i confirm to Updater to apply the weekly update my phone restarted in twrp and the update failed. So yes maybe the way is to restore the original recoevery, flash the last weekly version and then flash twrp and root (with magisk in my case): I don't like very this, a bit too complicated but for now i can't imagine better and shorter ways

What do you think about recoveries which are posted on miui forums. I don't remember names and don't have read entire threads but from my understanding this recoveries are able install "update".zips.

If you have TWRP, you can just install the FULL ROM ZIP of betas or stable and flash with TWRP without issues. Just download them from the official XIAOMI website. You cannot install the incremental updates that come from the internal ROM updater software. It only downloads the difference in the ROM versions, and it will fail because files that need patched have changed and fail the validation process. You might have to re-root and install the recovery after you flash.

I'm worried about coming back from beta to stable. As I read on web with ARB u can't make downgrade (from newest version to older). So in my theory is possible to came back from beta to stable just in one case and that is little bit...
Example:
Last beta version was released on sunday 15.5.2018
Last stable version WILL/WAS be relesed thursday 19.5.2018
So u have 2 days for make jump from beta to stable because on next sunday 22.5.2018 will be released another beta which will be again newest than last stable version or dont make any update of beta after release stable version.
Ofcourse I can be wrong

Uhm...i think the ARB check the Android version only. So if you are on Pie you can't go back to Oreo. Only this

We need to check the ARB index of the our installed Rom and the ARB index of the Rom we want to install

what is the best version for 3T?

Right now I have OB 30.
recommend to wait for the Pie stable release? or OB?
I will get OTA update to new OB of Pie?

I would recommend to wait for Stable PIE OTA (should be available by MAY END).
If you switch to CB PIE then probably your data will be wiped AND when the stable OTA is launched then AGAIN you'll probably have to wipe all data.
Performance is okay-ish and battery drain is present on current CB PIE BETA.
Why OB dont get new pie update?
stable release was more recommend?

The OB program technically ended in July 2018. I think the philosophy was that the 3T was old enough to not warrant testing of new/experimental features; and presumably OnePlus was going to focus resources on their newer devices.
OnePlus is calling the PIE update a "community beta" after completing a closed beta. So you might think of it as more or less of an open beta, whether by name or not. But seeing as this is likely the last stable update (at least the last major update) for this device, there isn't a point in testing more experimental features (such as they did with the OB builds).

Security patches: eea vs eu

I am starting to be a little disappointed on the frequency of security patches for my eea mi 9... Is this substantially better on xiaomi.eu?
On the latest Xiaomi.eu we are running the September Security Patch
I think that Xiaomi is waiting for the release of Android Q to update the security patches
It's pretty odd that the mi9 SE has been sitting on MIUI 10.3 with july security patch for 2 weeks now while the mi 9 is stuck on june SP with miui 10.2. Basically the cheaper version is getting updated faster, so I guess they have some additional bugs to fix on the mi 9.
Well if they would fix idle battery drain I'd be happy with waiting...

Latest EU Q is supposed to be 9.8.22 (eu versions read as 2019.August.22, I've learnt that recently)
> Wiping is MANDATORY
> Backup using Titanium Backup only, not TWRP

Being a lazy guy I always do dirty flashes. Coming from Global Dev (9.6.27) I simply flashed Xiaomi.EU (9.8.10 Android Q) over. Since then upgraded to 9.8.15 and now 9.8.22. Runs like charm.
Of course, recommendation always is 'clean flash'. But this one can still do in case a dirty flash doesn't work, isn't it?
Cheers

Yes you can use it as a daily driver for sure, there a few minor bugs but they doesn't affect your daily experience
I switched on another ROM only because I can't use the Google passwords autofill in third applications (outside of Chrome I mean)
Thanks All who replied. I am now running on EU Q ROM appears perfectLy stable and I love the enhanced dark mode that forces some apps without dark mode to look like dark mode.
As my boot loader was locked, unlocking wiped the phone so a dirty flash was not relevant or required

Unlocking my boot loader wiped the phone but glad to hear I can dirty flash future Q builds
It's quite obvious why this is happening. The Mi 9 is going to be one of the first phones in the world with Android Q, so it's obvious they are just developing for it, and stopped patching for Android Pie.
After all, this is a flagship, they will want to showcase Android Q on it as soon as possible.
